Annual Association Membership Meeting
The 2026 Annual Membership Meeting is happening on Sunday, June 7th. It will be held at 1312 McClelland St., San Marcos.Please contact the Association Manager (Greg Shaw) to reserve your seat (ncusbcamanager+website@gmail.com).
As many of you know elections are an important part of these meetings. If you are interested in running for a Board of Directors position, or as a Delegate, the application forms listed below can be printed and then completed and mailed. Or, if you have the Adobe Acrobat Reader program on your computer or phone, you can complete the application form on your device and submit it electronically. Eligibility requirements are noted on the respective application forms. As it is permissible to run for a position "From the Floor," forms will also be available at the Annual Membership Meeting. However, PLEASE try to provide the Nominating Committee members AT LEAST 48 HOURS NOTICE in order to validate your information and allow for any corrections and/or updates that may be needed.
Our Local Bylaws state that we have and conduct Board Officer and Director elections based on a staggered system (odd/even year). This means that half of the board positions are elected in odd years (IE. 2027, 2029, 2031, etc.) and the other half of board positions are elected in even years (IE. 2026, 2028, 2030, etc.). The term of office for all board positions is two years.
Elections for "Odd" year positions consist of the President, 2nd Vice President, Sgt-at-Arms and Director positions 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.
Elections for "Even" year positions consist of the 1st Vice President, 3rd Vice President (Youth) and Director positions 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12.
For those interested in joining the Board of Directors, the application form is HERE.
NOTE: ALL members of the Board of Directors excluding Youth (18 and under) MUST have and maintain current USBC membership and RVP (Registered Volunteer Program) compliance throughout their term. Newly elected board members have 45 days to complete SafeSport training and pass a background check to obtain RVP compliance. It is not required that an applicant be bowling in an association league, though it is HIGHLY recommended.
Yes. Yes. I know. I know. Why do you have to have USBC membership, RVP, etc., if you do not have to bowl? Because USBC says so. It's not a bowling issue, it's a USBC Bylaw REQUIREMENT (mandated by Congressional law) to be a Director on a USBC Association Board. Even if centers are closed or leagues are not going, the Board is still working, and THAT REQUIRES USBC membership and RVP compliance.
For those wondering why Board members MUST be RVP compliant, US Public law #115-126 says so. For those curious about the law (and are having difficulty getting to sleep) you can read ALL about it (317 pages) HERE.
Basically, Congress has mandated (codified) that the Governing Bodies of all amateur sports - USBC is the Governing Body for the sport of bowling in the U.S. - ensure that the the participants of their respective sport (youth in particular) be protected from bullying, hazing, harassment, predators, etc.. It NEVER hurts to have extra eyes looking out for the safety of our kids and our senior bowlers.
